Trivia: Britain's most broken law is?

Wibble.

Yeah, they have to have the name and postcode of whoever made the plate displayed in small text at the bottom centre along with the British Standards kitemark, and they have to use the approved typeface to conform to BSAU145D.....

They are allowed to add a coloured border around the outside of the plate, and a small graphic at the left hand end of the plate (normally a blue block with a flag or something similar in it).....

I only know this because I built a website a few years back for a guy in Ipswich who makes custom plates....

I vote for the Price Marking Order 2004, particularly:-

Decimal places and rounding of unit prices

1. Where the unit price of a product falls below 1 it shall be expressed to the nearest 0.1p. Where the figure denoting one hundredths of one penny in the unit price is 5 or higher, it shall be rounded up and where it is 4 or lower it shall be rounded down.

----

So you may not price something 99p, you must price it 99.0p, in other words expressed to the tenth of a penny.

By law a number plate needs to have a certain amount of information - the minimum I see is a name, postcode and a BS number.

The alternative is to ask for the repairs without a plate and purchase them separately, and bill to the insurance company.

Incidentally my dad had his car serviced at a local Hyundai garage and it came back with new plates with the dealer's name on it. I don't think he complained, I would have!

Yeah but they don't breach that one knowingly do they? I can't imagine the penalty is very much, moving COM 1C so it says COM1C cops you (in theory) £1,000 fine and confiscation of the registration number.

Dweeb.

One for the feminists.

Sexual Offences Act 1956 sections 2 and 3.

1. It is an offence for a person to procure [means "persuade"] a woman by threats or intimidation to have sexual intercourse
2. It is an offence for a person to procure a woman by false pretences or false representations to have sexual intercourse

How about underage drinking.

Is there anyone out there who hasn't broken that one?

Underage anything really.

Umm, anybody who was 18 or over when they had their first drink?

Me. Though I've managed to catch up since turning eighteen. In fact, due to excellent Scottish genes, I may be in the lead by now.

FoFP

theft- everybody has stolen something even if it's a pencil, paperclip from the office, it may be trivial but it's still theft

The graphic at the left hand side can only be the EU ring of stars and the letters 'GB':

Implies that national flags aren't yet allowed (but I see plenty about)

Or after hours drinking? Millions of people do this every single day.

What law does that break? (Assuming one conceals one's 'person' with his hand.)

The false pretence being the promise of undying love?

Or what did you have in mind?

Since five is the minimum age for drinking, 18 would be well slack.
